Okay,let's get started.
First download Snes9x:

2:Extract it to your desktop.
3:Open the emulator (Snes9x.exe)
4:Go to input>input configuration and configure your keyboard.
5:Load the rom and play.
This emu is way better than zsnesw.Have fun.

There should be an executable file somewhere called DirectX(R)Setup.exe (Or something like that).
Here's what to do.
Right click on a empty space in that folder,a box will pop up,then go to Arrange icons by>type
and then it should be easy to find the executable file.Open the file and directx will be installed.

Got Zsnes working.
But need to know when setting Gamepad keys do i do the ones that say Up,Down,Etc or the ones that say A,B,X,Y etc. or both.
Can someone explain ?

well on a key board your common is one of the two

arrows to match the pad up for up, down for down ect... then
s=b
e=a
a=y
w=x

or use a,w,s,z for the arrows and use
l=b
p=a
k=y
o=x

but really its up to you, just match up the controller layout.

most people put start and select on 1/2 and l and r on the left/right shift.
